This is not reflected in the man page, or the release notes.

Comment 3 Jan Grulich 2016-03-24 09:49:50 UTC
Reassigning to xorg-x11-server, because those options (-listen/-nolisten) actually come from Xorg, which is missing upstream patch [1] mentioning this change.

Comment 5 Adam Jackson 2016-05-24 20:25:28 UTC
This really is a tigervnc bug.  xserver has had the historic listen-on-tcp behaviour restored since:

* Thu May 28 2015 Adam Jackson <ajax> 1.17.1-0.5
- Restore RHEL7 listen-on-tcp defaults

tigervnc needs to pass --enable-listen-tcp to the build phase for xserver.

Comment 7 Jan Grulich 2016-05-25 10:57:26 UTC
Fixed in tigervnc-1.3.1-7.el7.
